Ricardo

The Ricardo architecture for
financial cryptography products
allows online assets to be created, managed and traded,
either directly or on an exchange.
The Ricardo Issuance Server, a platform for
issuing online currencies, shares, bonds and other
financial instruments, manages the registry and
issuance aspects of contract-based financial
instruments of all forms.

WebFunds

WebFunds is a generic application that provides access
to payment systems and advanced applications through a single,
coherent user interface. WebFunds currently facilitates
access to Systemics' Ricardo payment and trading platform.

WebFunds was originally developed by Systemics and
subsequently open-sourced to provide the community
with the common infrastructure necessary for access
to the Ricardo architecture. WebFunds is written in Java for
maximum portability and can be found at
www.webfunds.org.

Pumphouse

Pumphouse is a bridge between the strong crypto
world of Ricardo and the HTML-based world of
browsing. Pumphouse offers an open
XML-X interface
that works on a password basis for security. A
website can easily and efficiently drive XML-X
to gain access to the Ricardo space.

Pumphouse marries the convenience of
browsing with the strong cryptographic
security of Ricardo. Now, users can
access Ricardo via their standard browser,
over SSL-secured connections, without
having to deal with downloads and program
installs.

Trading Exchanges

Systemics fields trading exchanges for
classical financial instrument trading as
well as trading of intellectual derivatives
such as tasks and ideas. Instruments such
as currencies, bonds and shares are easily
addressed within the Ricardian Contract.
The Exchange Server for instrument trading
delivers RTGS(T+0) trades on the Internet.

More sophisticated issues such as
derivatives, options, tasks and ideas can
be addressed using splits and reverse splits.

Cryptix

Systemics was instrumental in developing the Cryptix line of
open-source
cryptographic software libraries. After the initial release,
independent developers quickly joined the project,
turning Cryptix into the cryptographic toolkit of choice
for the Java platform. In 1999, the Cryptix project was
spun off as a independent, non-profit organisation.
